two birds, twice found between the names,
appear to be the eagle sign; but one is tempted
to see in them the » > bird, and to render them
as the title " the washer." A second epithet is

above, on 8). To the extreme right occur two

14. Private sealing. Are we to find the
name of the owner in the groups Nefermaat, as
probably in 24 below, or in the twice recurring

is to be understood as " stone," the expression
" divine of stone " is strange either as an epithet

is an imperfect analogy.
